Finding anchor frame for broken links to graphic

I have a document that when opening wants a new link to a graphic that has been deleted from the file. I have looked on the body pages, master pages, reference pages, everywhere I can think of to locate where the graphic the file is looking for could be located. Can anyone suggest additional places in file to look?
Thanks

If the file isn't part of a book, make it one, then:
Add > List of > Figures
and you'll find out what page it's on (if LOF catalogs missing imports, which it may not).
You can also save as MIF and look in the MIF for the object name. You need to learn a little about MIF to decipher where that maps to in the document.
Import references can hide in all sorts of places, including but not limited to:
beyond edge of anchored frame (had 2 of those just today)
hidden behind an opaque something you can see
conditional text currently turned off
text flowed out of sight on disconnected page
in plain sight, but hidden by Color Views
Worst case scenario: create a 1x1 pixel white object and give it the name of the rogue.

Deleting songs and scanning for broken links.

I've encountered a couple weird problems today. I've read through every area of the preferences, right-clicked everywhere I can think of in the iTunes window to see what pops up in those menus, and can't find the solutions to my problems.
1) It used to be that when I tried to delete a song from iTunes, it would ask if I wanted to delete it from the PC. It doesn't do this anymore, but I really wish it did. Is there a way for me to delete something from my iTunes library AND my PC with one action?
2) Since I could not delete songs through iTunes, I went straight to where my music files reside and deleted them that way. I know iTunes can scan the library for broken links and stuff -- it's done it before, though I don't know what triggered it. How can I make it scan my list for broken links and remove them? I deleted something like 300 songs -- that's a lot of links to delete individually.
I'm not computer illiterate. I've right-clicked everywhere, gone through all the menus and the preferences menu and still can't figure out how to get iTunes to do these basic functions. It's really frustrating because I know it's done them before. Please help.

open itunes, right click on the song you want to delete, click clear.. and why are we not allowed to give you a link. This is FREE help, and any link could have told you told you that.

Search for broken links to images

Is there an efficient way to search for broken links to
images?

Hi there
I'm not sure if you are meaning to ask about links inside
topics that point to images that you are popping up or linking to
outright or if instead, you mean that some of the images that are
supposed to be displayed inside topics are maybe missing and you
wish to know about them.
One easy way to spot a missing image reference is by using
the Project Manager. Not sure if you are using RoboHelp 7, 8 or
older here, but if on 7 or 8 look in the Project Manager pod.
Otherwise it will be found on the left panel of the application.
Expand the Images pseudo folder and quickly scan the list of images
and expand sub folders inside. Any missing image should be listed
with a red x to indicate the status. You may then examine the image
properties to see which topic(s) is/are still referencing it.
Cheers... Rick

How to check for broken links on my remote site?

How can I check for broken links on my _remote_ site using DW10 (i.e. DWCS4)?
I know of the Link Checker tab so as to check the local site.
I've been using the app Integrity to do this, but it would be convenient to be able to also do this in DW.
Running OS X 10.8.2.
Thanks for any advice.
Ron

Over the years I've had both happen.
I'm not saying this happens often... it doesn't... but it does happen.
And this is with my site links working fine locally.
So it is either happening on upload or on the servers.
I can't tell you the number of times I've asked webhosts (I've had many) why a site is not working at all... and they have told me that they are either doing work on their servers or that they're 'upgrading' and moving my sites to another server. So perhaps this is part of the problem.
Again... rarely happens but it does happen.

Best Practice for Image placement and Anchored Frames for use in Robohelp 9

Hi,
I'm looking for the best practices in how to layout my images in Framemaker 10 so that they translate correctly to Robohelp 9. I currently have images inside of Anchored frames that "Run into" the right side of my text. I've adjusted the size of the anchored frame so that my text flows correctly around the image. Everything looks good in Framemaker! Yeah! The problem is that when I link my Framemaker document to Robohelp, the text does not flow around my image in the same manner. On a couple of Robohelp screens the image is running into the footer. I'm wondering if I should be using tables in Framemaker in order to get the page layout that I'm looking for. Also, I went back and forth...is this a Framemaker question or is this a Robohelp question. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I think Jeff is meaning this section of the RoboHelp forums:

Find anchored frames

Is there a way to search for anchored frames? I placed a Word doc that for some reason was full of little, empty, anchored frames. I'm going through deleting them as I find them, but I want to be sure I've gotten them all.
Clark

Peter, I am not sure I follow. Searching for ^a finds the marker, but the actual inline and/or anchored object will be selected. If you were to find ^a, and replace all with delete, all occurrences of these frames (and content) will be deleted, regardless of location and/or placement within master frame.
This search will not recognize whether the frame has content or not. And it won't delete the content of frame and leave frame behind.

It is possible to style an anchored frame for the right-heading page?

The result showed in the picture is fine only for left pages.
It is possible to do the inverse for the right page? Locate the headings at the rigth side of the column?
The idea is to apply this for subheadings in 20 vols...
PS As scripting seems complicated the idea is avoid opening the anchor text menu for each entry.
Here the solution was copy-paste an preformatted inline frame anchored text an soon afterward copy-paste the subheading already present in the text]

Yes, that is right...
But custom frames ( "relative to spine" ) apparently does not work at all when is placed at the first line of a paragraph.
Inlines are effective...
Also, custom anchored frames does not accept inline settings: and inlines for this situation is the best as was detailed above (fast, and more and less easy production) and also for a crucial thing: the anchored heading must be inside the paragraph.

Checking for Broken Links

Is there a solution out there for checking broken links in a content area in Oracle Portal?

I think a third party products will check broken links by identifying links which return a 404 error.
Portal (at least 3.0.6.6.5) does not respond with 404 but gives WWC-46000. I doubt a third-party product will recognise this as a broken link.
Analyzing apaches log files is of no use either. The error log gives no entries, the access log shows apache has responded the request with HTTP-200 , which is correct if you see the problem from Apache. Apache does a request to modplsql, a page is returned, and Apache passes it on.
The problem becomes somewhat more complicated if you consider access rights to folders. A link can be OK for userA, but can be broken for userB.

Can't find delete button for quick link address in my inbox navigation pane !

Hi,
There is no delete button for quick link which I mistakenly added in my inbox navigation pane. In fact, the link I added for quick link was a mistake and it was a different page address, and the missing delete button is for this specific link only; other than it is alright. How can I remove or delete it from my inbox quick link ?
Thanks,
Regards,
Cyberkhan

There does seem to be a close/delete button present that is hidden under the 'm' from 'google.com' that is probably not clickable.
I don't know if there should be such a long link visible in that list item or that something else is wrong.
You can try to right-click that area and use Inspect Element to open the Inspector.

How to turn off "Find my iPhone" for broken phone before passing it to repair services?

My wife's iPhone 5 is broken (water damage) and would not even switch on. We have an insurance, so it is going to be repaired. However, the repair agency advised us that we have to turn off the "Find my iPhone" function for this phone before we pass it to them for repair.
The problem is that the phone does not turn on at all, so there is no way to turn the feature off directly from the phone. It was possible to remove it from iCloud, but from what I understand it still does not switch "Find my iPhone" off.
Repair agency told us that we have to delete the Apple ID profile completely in order to make the phone repair-able. Is that correct? Is there no other way? I am afraid that if we delete the Apple ID profile, then all the purchased apps will not be accessible any more. Also this ID is in use by other devices (Mac Mini, iPad) so that's not exactly the ideal situation.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I do suspect that they will not be really repairing. However, I was told what I was told, and I just would not like to end up in situation when an iPhone gets comletely locked if they manage to fix it somehow but then it would lock-out because I did not remove it from "Find my iPhone".
I could remove the phone from the account already (as the page you refer to suggests). Will that be sufficient? Erasing it is not possible because it is switched off.

Where can I find vector frames for official letters?

I would like to create an official letter/invitation, and to to have a nice frame to it. Here are some examples:
Is there a place I could download such frames in a vector format for free?
Thank you
Tom

Don't waste your time looking for free templates. You have one of the most creative pieces of software just waiting to be used.
Draw a square and subtract circles out of the corner for the border. You can then draw some ornaments, or if you are not up for that look into the font woodtype ornament that comes with Illustrator, or load some brush libraries Brushes palette >> open Library.

What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?

Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
Problem I: Importing a graphic
First of all, which is the best way?
-Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
-Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
-Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
-72 dpi
-75 dpi
-150 dpi
-300 dpi
-Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.

My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
together at page/column breaks.
When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
-2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps!

Can global commands be created for Anchored Frames?

I am migrating a rather large documentation suite from one FM template to another. One of the changes is larger anchored frames (95% are sized the same). Since there are numerous graphics per document (100+) one of the rather monotonous tasks involves resizing all the frames (and associated pictures). I can batch process all the graphics in Photoshop, but can't see a way around having to manually resize each anchored frame after I import the old content into the new template. Since each object has an "object type" associated with it, wouldn't it be possible to make a global change to the properties of a selected object type?
This may just be a wishful thinking, but before I accept having to enter the same numbers in the anchored frame properties a buzzilion times, I thought I would throw this puzzle out into the forumsphere.

Several possibilities include:
1. Bruce foster's Impgraph plug-in: http://home.comcast.net/~bruce.foster/ImpGraph.htm
2. A custom Framescript
3. In the MIF version of the FM file, use a text editor to adjust the Frames <ShapeRect L T W H> parameter.
4. Do nothing, i.e. delete the current anchored frame an import the new graphic in the same location, FM automatically sizes the Aframe to be 1 pt larger than the imported graphic (see also #1 - Impgraph).

Graphics and anchored frames

My EDD is set up to insert anchored frames as I import a graphic by reference. The default position is centre aligned. I would like to change this to left aligned.
Then I would like to be able to set up a fixed alignment offset on the graphic. At present I have to manually set up the position (not a major problem but I think it must be possible to get it set up as I would like).
Finally coming back in from XML the cgm files remove the alignment offset and place the graphic at the very left of the anchored frame.
Any pointers woulod be much appreciated.
Thanks
Edd

Hi Edd,
frames and there layout is something that is specified in the template.
=>
Open your Template,
insert a new anchored frame and set the options you want there.
Delete the frame again and save the Template.
Afterwards it should work.
If you are working with FM documents instead of xml documents, you have to import the formats again, of course.

Insert inset in anchored frame

I cannot find the info on how to insert an Inset into an existing AFrame using ExtendScript. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks
Jang

Hi Russ,
I know I would have to fire myself, and believe me, I have tried many times. But my boss will not let me go :-)
What I am doing is this: I walk through a document and find anchored frames. If the anchored frame contains more than one graphic (which includes referenced files, lines, text boxes and such), I convert the entire contents of the anchored frame into a single SVG, which then replaces the contents of the anchored frame. This makes the graphic object, including possible arrows, text boxes etc. suitable for conversion to structured framemaker and/or output to XML. It works fine when there is at least one referenced graphic (Inset) in the anchored frame, as I simply change its InsetFile to the newly created SVG. This works like a breeze, even though FM complains about changed image formats when I reopen the file. The SVGs are displayed correctly, so I am happy. But when I encounter a file that has no referenced graphics, just lines and text boxes and - god forbid - images that were copied in rather than referenced, I have no single Inset to change the InsetFile property of. So I will have to add an Inset to the AFrame at that point and set its InsetFile property.
As you see, there is no text involved and no paragraphs available to set a text location to. If you have a bright idea about this, I would be over the moon. This type of thing has been on my mind ever since I found that FM creates an - Ugh! - CGM out of any AFrame that contains multiple graphic elements. An SVG for that purpose is infinitely better, as it will even allow me to create references to callouts from the text, or have captions inside the text boxes pick up their content from referenced elements in the text flow. Once I have the conversion to SVG perfected, there is no limit to what I can do next.
Let me know if you have the info I need. I know you have been playing around with inserting graphics into an AFrame, but I need to add an Inset right there.
Ciao
Jang
